MOONLIGHT AND DREAMZ

Welcome to my world of dreams where imagination and reality, fancy and truth, laughter and tears move hand in hand. I will let you have a glimpse at the share of my own sky, sometimes sunshine bright, and sometimes with rainstorm. I will take you to memories that are like a serene glow of moonlight, a whisper of mountain breeze, and a rushing gushing brook.

    The Husband and the Wife

     

    “Save me, save me!” Cries the wife who has fallen down the stairs; hit her head; and gone mad

    The husband, observes helplessly, desolate and miserable, with an expression so very sad

     

    The bedridden wife shouts angrily – it is not her, who is insane!

    Wondering with bewildered eyes - why can’t anyone believe her - she lashes in pain

     

    The husband, the doctor, and all others patiently try to comfort her mind

    Knowing fully well that with each passing day, chances of recovery are hard to find

     

    Earlier, everyone around saw, in their quaint little home, love quietly thrived

    She tended to him; cared for him, and her joy multiplied

     

    He, the silent writer, his pen danced on pages, his passion alive

    A tale of two hearts, in the shadows they’d hide

     

    Now, wife, lying on the bed, stretched her gleaming swan-like neck

    Hoping to reach out to someone like a lotus from the beck

     

    In her madness, asking everyone to take her away from home,

    Screaming, moaning cursing everybody under the dome

     

    In the old oak bed, memories come knocking and rocking

    She, with a damp face, crying, screaming, hissing and mocking

     

    Nurse tussles, clasps her hands, holding tight her tender feet,

    Struggling to bring the food against her mouth to make her feel good and eat.

     

    Husband is beside her, always like a moonlit willow branch

    Wishing, hoping for her recovery, a day of revived romance

     

    He tries to forget the pain, drowning himself in his writing

    A prolific writer who is famous for his novels exciting

     

    Family, neighbors, and people all around stay in worry and fear

    For the wellbeing of the Husband whose patience is held sublime for years

     

    In the chamber of dreams, where thoughts take flight,

    The husband weaves tales in the soft neon light.

     

    With parchment and quill, he forges his art,

    In the sanctum of silence, he finds every part.

     

    Disturb not his reverie, this sacred abode,

    Where verses are born, where the stories unfold.

     

    Then one day in the darkness of the middle of the night

    When the screaming of the wife slowly becomes weak and slight

     

    With eyes fiercely gleaming, drowning his head in writing, the husband recalled

    The day he threw his wife down the stairs, and how her body lay bloodied and mauled

     

    "Take rest, Stop writing, my dear," she did beseech

    "Leave me alone, you're a bothersome wretch!"

     

    Remembering how the wife’s eyes filled with shock and fright

    Her frail body flew down the stairs almost like the mane of horses in their flight

     

    Satisfied, with a twisted grin, and a harsh voice, the husband groaned

    Anyone who comes in between me and my writing will be stoned!
